News You've Got Next to No Chance of Playing the Finished Final Fantasy XV This Year
We warned you
Many have already came to the conclusion that they probably won't be getting their hands on the finished version of Final Fantasy XV this year, but for those who still think it's possible, we'd advise you not to get your hopes up. During today's livestream of the game's demo, director Hajime Tabata stated that the title's about "60...

Still, with an action based combat system that...

The demo, which will come bundled with...
News Deadman's Cross Is a Free-to-Play Zombie Card Game That's Out Today on Vita
You'll need braaaaains
A title that sounds like one of weirdest concoctions that we've stumbled upon in quite a while, Deadman's Cross is shuffling onto the North American PlayStation Store later today. A strange mix of first-person shooting and card collecting, we suppose it's a bit like Pokémon, only instead of battling and catching cool little...

Noctis again
Square Enix really wants you to get hyped up for its upcoming demo of Final Fantasy XV, and as such, it's released a bunch of high quality screenshots for you to cast your gaze upon.

News This Is What Dissidia Final Fantasy Would Look Like on PS4
Cloudy with a chance of Sephiroth
Remember the Dissidia Final Fantasy games back on the PSP? Featuring heroes and villains of the Final Fantasy universe, many fans demanded a home console sequel or even ports of the brawlers, but perhaps strangely, publisher Square Enix appeared to lose much of its interest in the series. Until now, that is. A...
News Just Cause 3's First Trailer Is Far More Serious Than It Needs to Be
Burnin' for you
We're not entirely sure how we feel about moody cinematic trailers. On the one hand, they can work well, providing a sense of atmosphere, while on the other, they can end up seeming far too serious for the actual source material. And let's face it: Just Cause has never been a serious franchise. Cardboard characters and terrible...
News You Can Drool Over Final Fantasy XV's Demo Next Week
Road trip
Be honest: are you tempted to pre-order Final Fantasy Type-0 HD purely to get your hands on Final Fantasy XV's playable demo? We're sure there are plenty doing just that, but if you're eager to see what the first live glimpse of Square Enix's decade-in-the-making adventure looks like, you actually won't have to spend a penny. The game's...
News Dragon Quest Heroes' Brilliant New Trailer Will Make You Demand a Western Release
Slime time
Dragon Quest Heroes' newest trailer is a seven minute epic in which we see everything from special moves to skill trees. If you're a regular reader, then you'll know how desperate we are for the hack and slasher to come West, and this video has all but cemented our passion. Showing off every playable character, some fantastic looking...
News Dragon Quest Heroes Looks Like the Most Colourful Warriors Game Yet
Pop pop pop
Warriors games can sometimes look a bit bland. Perhaps it's to be expected when you've got hundreds of soldiers running about on screen, but art style and great use of colour was partly why we adored One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, and it looks like we'll be able to say the same of Dragon Quest Heroes. The screenshots that we've embedded...
News Dragon Quest Heroes Sounds Like It'll Run Best on PS4
Next-gen nitpicking
To say that we're desperate for Dragon Quest Heroes to make it overseas is an understatement. The Warriors and Dragon Quest mash-up looks rather striking, and it features a bunch of old school characters to get your nostalgia flowing, too. As with many titles slated for release this year, the hack and slasher is slicing onto...
Weirdness Final Fantasy VII Has Never Looked So Real
First class
We love a good modded console here at Push Square, and this particular PSone from modder MakoMod has certainly caught our eye. Turning the top of his machine into Final Fantasy VII's Midgar -- the daunting industrial city where the game begins -- it's the detail that really sets this creation apart. From the Shinra reactors to the slums...
Talking Point Has Persona 5's Gameplay Trailer Dulled Your Excitement for Final Fantasy XV?
Persona-lly speaking
Some wouldn't like to admit it, but it's not often that a Japanese role-playing game has the weight to make waves in the current climate of our industry – at least, not here in the West. But of course, like everything in life, when something good is destined to come along, it all comes at once. After almost a decade of as...
News There's a Final Fantasy XV Flavoured Treat in This Type-0 HD Trailer
Road trip
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD wouldn't be such a tantalising proposition without its promised Final Fantasy XV demo, and Square Enix clearly thought that it needed to throw in some fresh footage from the forthcoming sequel in order to get people to watch this trailer. You'll need to sit through a few seconds of a wailing soldier before getting...
News Suikoden Slips Silently onto the European PlayStation Store Today
Stars of Destiny
Those of you looking for a taste of old-school action will be able to satisfy your Japanese role-playing game cravings with Suikoden I and Suikoden II on the European PlayStation Store today. The hard-to-pronounce hits launched in North America last year, but are finally available to play on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable,...
News Final Fantasy XIV's Fantastic PS4 Theme Is Now Available and Free in Europe
A theme reborn
The PlayStation 4 doesn't have a great selection of themes. The official Destiny one isn't too bad, and there are a couple of other additions to the PlayStation Store that are nice enough, but there's nothing available that we'd consider essential downloads. That's changed today, however, as the fantastic Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm...
News Square Enix Wants Dragon Quest Heroes to Venture onto Western PS4s and PS3s
Don't make us beg
Ever since its initial reveal, we've been desperately waiting on word of Dragon Quest Heroes heading West, and today, publisher Square Enix has given us our first hint that the hack and slasher may be journeying overseas. Japanese publication Game Watch questioned the company at the recent Taipei Game Show, and regarding a Western...
News New Just Cause 3 Screenshots Have Already Got Us Hooked
Reel 'em in
Seemingly appearing from thin air, Just Cause 3 has taken the Internet by storm with a handful of screenshots. Turning up over on NeoGAF, the pictures look almost exactly as you'd expect, as protagonist Rico Rodriguez causes havoc and chaos wherever he decides to go. Grappling onto a moving helicopter? Check. Riding on the back of a jet...
Review Life Is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis (PlayStation 4)
Go f*** yourselfie
Life Is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis marks the latest release from French developer DONTNOD, the studio behind Remember Me. Being an episodic game, it marks a change of pace for the firm, and allows it to join the ranks of Telltale Games, who has essentially defined the model in its current guise. Series like this are extremely...
News Square Enix's Secret PS4 Exclusive Ain't What You Were Hoping For
Cave in
Square Enix's troll train chugs along another day, as the company has revealed that Spelunker Z is the PlayStation 4 exclusive that it teased earlier in the week. The free-to-play title, which is based upon the 1983 platformer originally designed by Tim Martin, will release on 19th March. It'll feature online multiplayer for up to six...
Round Up Life Is Strange PS4, PS3 Reviews Aren't Out of the Ordinary
Mad Max
Given the success of The Walking Dead, it's a surprise that other developers are only just jumping on the episodic bandwagon. With the output of developer Telltale Games starting to get a teensy bit predictable, though, we're really curious to see French developer DONTNOD's take on the format. We've got a reviewer whizzing through episode...
News What Is Square Enix's Unannounced PS4 Exclusive?
Z marks the spot
Cryptic teases are a mainstay in this industry, and they almost always end in disappointment – but that doesn't stop us from getting sucked into the hype cycle every single time. Square Enix is the latest publisher to join the party, launching a mysterious website pointing to the announcement of an upcoming PlayStation 4...
News The Time Has Come to Compare Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on PS4 to the Original PSP Version
You knew this was coming
Where would we be without graphics comparison videos? Er, we're not entirely sure, but we certainly wouldn't be comparing the visual prowess of an upcoming PlayStation 4 release to the original PSP version. Hitting Sony's newest console this year, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD unsurprisingly looks much better than it did on the...
News Life Is Strange Almost Looked a Lot More Masculine
Publishers will be publishers
Sigh. Considering the current climate, we did consider whether we should post this story in the first place – but then we figured that we'd be behaving just as badly as the publishers in question. During its recent developer diary, DONTNOD has hinted that some companies wanted it to make Life Is Strange's lead...
News Life Is Strange Plays Telltale At Its Own Game
The studio will remember that
It took Telltale Games a fair few attempts, but The Walking Dead proved that episodic gaming can be done well. However, while the developer's re-purposed its model with series like The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands, the regular repetition is starting to expose a few flaws in its format. As such, we're...
News Voice Actor Goofs Up with Kingdom Hearts III's PS4 Release Date
You're taking the Mickey
Voice actors are hired by big video game publishers to open their gobs, so it's no surprise that they struggle to keep them shut outside of the booth. Bill Farmer, who's playing Goofy in Kingdom Hearts III, caused a mild storm on Twitter earlier this week when he 'announced' that the forthcoming PlayStation 4 sequel will...
News Final Fantasy XV Goes Ridin' in New PS4 Screenshots
Titan fall
Unlike the snow on our doorstep, news is a little thin on the ground right now. While we've been kept busy over the Christmas period with various PlayStation Network outages, there's not an enormous amount else for us to report on. That's welcome news for everyone at Push Square Towers, because we have a backlog to beat and turkey...
News Final Fantasy XV Returns to the Road in Brand New Trailer
Hair we go again
Proving yet again that the Christmas break is nothing but a pipedream, Square Enix has released a ton of new information about Final Fantasy XV. The hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 role-playing game took centre stage at Jump Festa – a long running convention that’s taking place in Japan this weekend. The video introduces new...
News This Dragon Quest Heroes Trailer Is a Real Blast from the Past
Time for Slime
As if the returning faces in this Dragon Quest Heroes trailer weren’t enough, the whole thing reminds us of a PSone-era cut-scene. There’s something about the plain but pretty art style that whisks us back to the early era of polygons – and we mean that in the best possible way, because the title looks great. It’s already...
News Learn if Life Is Strange in January on PS4, PS3
Pay the Price
If you’re the type of person that’s constantly crying for something a little out of the ordinary, then it’s time to put your money where your mouth is. Life Is Strange, the episodic existential escapade from Remember Me developer Dontnod Entertainment, has been given a release date – and it premieres on 30th January on both the...
News You Won't Be Playing Final Fantasy XV for Its Voice Cast
Shudder
One thing that’s always put this author off JRPGs and anime in general is the diabolical dubbing, which is part of the reason why your humble host prefers the cheap skate approach employed by recent Yakuza titles and Freedom Wars. There are probably exceptions, but by and large, this scribe just doesn’t feel like English voice overs work...
Review Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (PlayStation 4)
Familiar faces, too many balls
Lara Croft is back, kicking butt across an isometric playground filled with demons and darkness, just like in The Guardian of Light. Fans of the original spin-off title will feel instantly at home exploring The Temple of Osiris, fighting off alligators in terrible wigs and solving “puzzles” that tend to involve...
News SaGa 2015 Plots a New Saga on PlayStation Vita in 2015
Awkward capitalisation ensues
Did you think that your PlayStation Vita had been sentenced to a future consisting only of cross-buy indie ports? Think again, as Square Enix has announced SaGa 2015 for the handheld system – the first non-mobile entry in its legendary sci-fi role-playing property in over a decade. The title was announced as part of a...
News Yes, Lara Croft Will Likely Still Climb onto PS4 in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Exclusive antics
We daresay that that recent Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End demo may have prompted you to forget about poor Lara Croft – after all, the recent Tomb Raider reboot, while thoroughly enjoyable, was very derivative of Nathan Drake’s primary PlayStation 3 escapades. However, the forthcoming Rise of Tomb Raider has been brought back to...
News Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster to Play Blitzball on PS4
Yuna you want it
Square Enix has heard your pleas for more high-definition remasters, and has responded by leaking Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster for the PlayStation 4. The role-playing re-release – which will be exclusive to Sony’s next-gen system – launched earlier this year on the PlayStation 3 and Vita, scoring a strong 8/10 in our...
Round Up Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris PS4 Reviews Make Amends
Tomb raider
Well, this is it: your consolation prize. Rise of the Tomb Raider isn’t coming to the PlayStation 4 anytime soon – though we can be quietly confident that it’ll hit Sony's system after the Xbox One release – so you’re going to have to make do with Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris for the time being. The sequel to Lara Croft...
News Final Fantasy VII Is Limit Breaking the PS4 Next Year
The crowd goes wild
Well, we didn't quite see that one coming. PSone classic Final Fantasy VII is heading to the PlayStation 4, although to the disappointment of many, it won't be an unrealistic remake. Instead, publisher Square Enix is bringing the PC version to Sony's latest console, and we've embedded the trailer to prove it. It's planned for a...
Review Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX (PlayStation 3)
Sora sensational
Square Enix may not know how to do release dates, press conferences, or reasonable haircuts, but it's an expert at HD Collections. The firm's Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster was at least half a masterpiece, and the original Kingdom Hearts collection has become the only proper way to start the franchise. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX...
News Sandbox Sequel Just Cause 3 Tethers to PS4 in 2015
Rico arena
Just Cause 3 has been a subject of speculation for almost as long as this site has been in existence, so it’s nice to see that the sequel has finally been officially unveiled. The focus of Game Informer’s latest cover story, the PlayStation 4 follow-up will plot the return of protagonist Rico Rodriguez, and will see you whisked away...
News Square Enix Knows When Final Fantasy XV Will Release on PS4
Probably never
Square Enix has a potential Final Fantasy XV launch window in mind, but it’s not sharing it publicly because producer Hajime Tabata fears that it “might take just a little bit longer than you’d hope for”. Considering that we’ve been waiting for this game for almost a decade now, that comment doesn’t exactly surprise us...
News Lara Croft Plunders a New PS4 Price Point for Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition in Europe
A Lara savings
If you were outraged at the idea of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition being sold at full price earlier in the year, then perhaps this week’s European PlayStation Store Deal of the Week discount will make Lara Croft’s spruced up escapade a little more palatable to you. Square Enix has slashed the PlayStation 4 re-release’s price...

Review Lords of the Fallen (PlayStation 4)
Harkyn and soul
With the spawn of the Souls series, gamers around the world have developed a soft spot for controller breaking games with horrendously difficult barriers of entry. Lords of the Fallen is Polish studio CI Games' first attempt at imitating the franchise's success – but does it stand up to its competitors? While the Souls series...
News Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's New PS4 Trailer Hopes to Get You in a Melodramatic Mood
Kids these days
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD isn't your typical Final Fantasy title, but its newest cinematic trailer will probably remind you that it is indeed part of Square Enix's moody franchise. It's perhaps a little bloodier than you'd expect, but the CG video still focuses on stylish teens and their flashy magical abilities. Shedding some light...
Weirdness Final Fantasy XV Looks Fantastic on PS4, But It'd Be Better on PSone
Low polygon fan
Look, we’re with you: Final Fantasy XV’s recent PlayStation 4 trailer was a real slice of emo entertainment. However, have you ever wondered what Square Enix’s latest would look like if it was in development some 20 or so years ago? Us neither, but we’re appreciative of Tumblr user
Review Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition (PlayStation 4)
Dim same
In a gaming sphere that currently adores sandbox and open world games, too few gamers would recognise the name Wei Shen. Sleeping Dogs' lead is a troubled character who makes the likes of Aiden Pearce seem annoyingly lacking in the personality department, and the aforementioned title that our chaotic cop comes from is often similarly...
News Kingdom Hearts III Levels Up with Unreal Engine 4 Support
Keyblade kerching
With veteran heel dragger Tetsuya Nomura in charge, we all know that Kingdom Hearts III is several years away. However, the legendary developer seems eager to shake off his longstanding reputation, by being proactive and switching production to Unreal Engine 4 – ditching the firm’s in-house technology in the process. “Surely...
Live See More of Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type 0 HD Right Here
The boys are back in town
Phew, we just about managed to catch this one. At 12PM BST, Square Enix will be live streaming an extended Tokyo Game Show presentation which will feature Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type 0 HD. Sounds good, doesn't it? The only problem, though, is that we're completely unsure how 'extended' the showing will actually...
First Impressions What New Tricks does Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition Learn on PS4?
Yes Wei
Many would argue that the original Sleeping Dogs was the overlooked sandbox gem of the last generation. The title's setting of Hong Kong had a quirky feel to it, and gameplay mixed exploration, kung-fu combat, and a surprisingly enjoyable story. It certainly wasn't as polished or as vast in scope as something like Grand Theft Auto V, but...
